Personal Policy

• Maintain total Neutral Point of View.

My opinions and my work on Wikipedia need to be kept separate — I attempt to edit all articles the same way, regardless of my opinion on the topic. Of course one does need to voice their opinion if an issue is raised, this needs to be a constructive opinion.^[1] As a part of this I try to keep my userpage without opinion.

If one has removed/changed/rewritten anything controversial one's userspace is the first thing anyone who disagrees with your edit will look at.

• If it smells like a weasel.

Even the vaguest smell of weasels I go straight for the ^{[weasel words]} or the ^{[citation needed]} tags. I tend to be more conserveist than deletionist — let it sit to gather attribution.

• Be Friendly.

A smile will disarm the angriest opponent. And helps to prevent biting the newcomers.
